What Is Google Maps? Google Maps is a web mapping service that is developed by Google. It offers street maps, satellite imagery, 360Đ’° panoramic views of streets, real-time traf c conditions and route planning for traveling by car, foot, bicycle or a public bus. Lars and Jens Eilstrup Rasmussen designed Google Maps in 2004 as part of their project at Where 2 Technologies. One of the most distinctive features of Google Maps is that this service's front-end utilizes Ajax, XML, and JavaScript. Plus, Google Maps has an integrated API that allows you to embed the maps on your own blogs or the thirdparty websites and has a locator for urban organizations and businesses. http://rankexperience.com/articles/article2572.html
